We move fast. After an initial conversation to explore your interim or fractional need most companies are matched with a vetted interim or fractional CFO from our network in up to 48 hours. The exact timeline depends on the complexity of your needs and how quickly we align on goals, but speed is part of our DNA.
Yes, interim and fractional CFOs play a critical role in stabilizing the business and assisting in the search for a permanent hire. They can help define the role, evaluate candidates, and ensure a smooth transition when the full-time CFO steps in. What you need now may look different from the full-time replacement so a good CFO can ensure you get the right skillset and leadership style for where you are going.
That’s a common scenario. Our CFOs specialize in untangling financial chaos, ensuring you have reliable reporting, creating dashboards that the team can be held accountable to, and getting you back to clarity.
We’re always looking for proven financial leaders who know how to create impact fast. If you’ve led through complex transitions, growth-stage scaleups, or distressed turnarounds — you may be a fit for the InterimCFO.com Community, our select group of vetted interim and fractional CFOs, Controllers, and VP Finance. Apply here to share your experience and get on our radar for upcoming opportunities.
We also connect companies with proven interim and fractional Controllers, VPs of Finance, and other senior finance leaders. Also, through our parent company, InterimExecs, we support the full C-suite — including CEOs, COOs, CIOs, CMOs, CTOs, and CSOs — for companies navigating change, growth, or transformation.
Yes, our executives are collaborative by design and serve critical roles, assessing and mentoring teams. An expert interim or fractional CFO can coach up internal finance team members into key senior positions. When the right person is ready to step up, your CFO hands off the reins with a clean transition and the confidence that the team is set to thrive.
You’re not alone and you don’t have to scramble. We specialize in urgent transitions. Within days, we’ll match you with a battle-tested interim or fractional CFO who can restore calm, restore investor and team confidence, and drive the financial strategy, while keeping your business on solid footing.
While most of our placements are interim, fractional, or project-based, some engagements naturally evolve into long-term roles. When companies are scaling fast or preparing for a major exit, it’s not uncommon for a CFO to stay on for several years. If a business decides to convert an interim or fractional CFO to a full-time hire, our flexible contracts include a straightforward buyout clause ensuring a smooth and seamless transition.
